I can conclude, given that all chakra stems from the Juubi's essence (the God Tree's Fruit), that Rikudou gained the Rinnegan from the Juubi's influence regardless.
Irrelevant.
Well Doh, why make such an obvious conclusion, that is correct for anything in the manga? What you and I still don't know, is how he got the rinnengan in the first place, which is important.
With the current pace of the manga? Absolutely not. We still have some ways to go, and have unanswered questions.
Yes we do indeed have a few "battlefronts" that are left unaswered. As I said, unless they postpone or stop the flower from blooming, it will take a few chapters. Besides the fan communities are about to get annoyed with this war. The fighting scenes stopped being interesting for most, and the irrelevant plot talk is getting on peoples nerves. Most people wants to see an end to this soon. And it could easily end within 5 chapters, if Kishi wants to. Naruto obtaining some temporary state with ridukou mode wouldn't take more than a few chapters for him to beat Obito. Of course it wont end with Obitos death, rather than him losing and still be alive, so that we can have a number of chapters with talking and the aftermath. Then we still have the God tree, which needs to be dealt with. So it's not like the whole scene will be over soon, it's just that Obito has to lose soon enough (and so would Madara, I guess, though I am unaware if he can just jump in and control the flower in the tree).
Rinnegan, amplified by the Rikudou cloak (given from the Bijuu's), 100% Kurama, AND Sage Mode which is multiplying Bijuu Modo's power? Yes... He will able able to defeat Obito given he has the requisites to damage him and the power to nearly equal him in destructive capability.
Well you cannot know if he gets the same type of cloak as Obito. Nothing suggests it, as Obito did a lot of things to get it. If Naruto could simply get it from a portion of the bijuus chakra without the juubi shell, etc., it would truly be plot devastating. Of course there are other options, such as his genes being the correct, or whatever, but these are pure hyphotetically. So no way do I see any evidence of Naruto obtaining power stronger than Obito. Naruto can only beat him with feelings, just like he did with Nagato and several other - stronger - opponents.
As for the rinnengan, that is another story. I don't think Naruto will get that either. Tbh, there is no evidence, that you need rinnengan to get the ridukou cloak. The ridukou cloak is something that comes with the power of the juubi. It's possible that rinnengan follows from the Juubi, but we don't know that. Of course we have Obito, who didn't awaken Rinnengan from getting the cloak, but even this case is quite special, as Obito already had 1 rinnengan.
Lastly you can't really know, if Naruto could use all those powers at once
I mean wouldn't Kuramas cloak vanish, if Naruto awakes the Ridukou cloak, since that partly is due to Kuramas chakra as well? We can't know, but IMO it's likely. Also I don't really see, how he can incorporate senjutsu with it, since that seems to be the only thing, it cannot manipulate.
Doubtful. That's far worse than what I have proposed. That is the very definition of a "plot" win, for the main characters. More so than the Naruto v Kakuzu fight.
I agree, but as I wouldn't neglect the possibility. Of course Naruto needs to use the chakra from the tailed beasts, but don't forget - even when Obito is defeated, the Juubi is still there. He might as well need them for sealing it, or whatever. You can just assume they will be used to take down Obito, that might not even be the point of that chakra. We cannot know yet. If what they gave him was just for making brute power, that would actually be go against Narutos role in the story.
So now you're being hypocritical and concluding it? No. And (IMO) it is the same as how Naruto transferred his chakra to the Shinobi and when he wills it, they will be able to utilize the cloaks. Whenever Naruto wills the need to use the Bijuu's chakra, he can.
Uhm, but what he did with the shinobi alliance is waaaaay different. He didn't just give them chakra. He made a link with them, so he could transmit chakra to them in order to bring back the cloak. Surely you could say, that the bijuus did the same with Naruto, but those bijuus are gone now, so it's really not so much of an option, unless we assume, they will be sealed into their exact same states. But nobody has either knowledge or sealing techniques to do so in the near future.
Even though it was clearly stated that Sasuke has the potential to surpass Madara? Come on man... And Madara's proficiency with the Rinnegan is suspect, and he has access to only Base Mokuton techniques.
Amongst all this, I still appreciate your feedback and criticism.
Haha, I know right, but this is the Madara, that didn't have either rinnengan or mokuton. Besides note the "potential to surpass"... As I said, we can always think 20-30 years into the future, but that might not be a future, we will ever see. So why even bother doing it? And even with that potential, it does not really make sense to just put him over Hashirama.
